Two weeks in Switzerland: Video

We've never seen anything like this: snails, snails, and more snails.On our weeding and raking days, we encounter snails of all sizes.  They seem to have a friendly characteristic, not pulling themselves into their shells, but extending their bodies from their homes to greet us, almost as if they were looking for someone to find them, someone to fellowship with them, someone to pick them up. They can not pick themselves up: only someone above them can offer a redemptive lift.  We all meet people with these snail-like characteristics - they are looking for someone to find them.  They are within a community that is unable to lift each other up.  None of them can lift the others. Only someone from above them can lift them.
For us in the community of Believers, we have experienced a lift, a Redemptive Lift. Our guilt removed, our sins forgiven, our souls saved by grace, and our prayers heard. We see clearly that Jesus, the One who picked us up, has a plan and purpose for our lives, and we begin to live in that way.
We are praying that we will not miss those with snail-like characteristics.  We should be able to identify them because we had those characteristics - they mirror our old selves.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
  (2 Corinthians 5:17)


  We hope you enjoy our video that highlights our past "Two Weeks in Switzerland."

   Keep looking up, and keep looking around for those who can't lift themselves up.
